Episode Summary:
Part two of the antics at the BeronBeron bar, the bar in which only (geinin) drunkards can enter, and as the show opens, the annoucer recaps the previous episode saying "drunken comedians appear, one by one." There is then a brief recap of the character's "drunken behavior data."
Most of the on-screen antics is fairly self-explanitory, except for the continuing joke about Iwao (in the rainbow shirt) and his facial ticks.

A few minutes after the start of the eipsode, Hosshyan arrives with his "drunken behavior data:"

Name: Hosshyan.
Drinks Up to Now: 12 glasses of Whiskey.
"Drunken Behavior" data:
The best Drinker
Tends to engage in heated bar talk

After his arrival, the customers sing the song "Lonely Chaplin" which you can hear here. It's probably the highlight of the evening, because it's all downhill from here.

Matsumoto "discovers" a roulette wheel style game. And the first spin says "Everyone make a funny face." He turns to Tanaka to start, but it doesn't catch on. "Isn't anyone going to make a funny face?" says Matsumoto, with a comedic edge of anger. "He's doing it!" says Hamada, pointing to Iwao, but he tries to explain that's just the way he is when he drinks.
The conversation turns to Hosshyan, who is a little frustrated-- "What's to become of me?" he asks. He evidently wants to change careers. Matsumoto suggests that Hamada can give him some advice.
Before Hamada can offer anything, Matsumoto points out that Iwao is making another funny face. "Hamada's giving advice to Hossyan, and you made a funny face just now!" For the rest of the night, Matsumoto is pointing out Iwao's making a funny face.
For some strange reason, Hamada burns himself!
The rest of the evening just shows the group disintegrating into a drunken rabble. There are some interesting views behind the scenes in the studio, but there's little esle of note besides Tanaka wandering behind the bar (Hamada: "Get back to your seat!") and Yamasaki doing a poor version of Endou's HoiHoiHoi dance.
As the customers file out, Hamada and Matsumoto tell Iwao to remain seated. "What are you up to?" Matsumoto asks jokingly. Iwao apologizes, but a moment later, Matsumoto says "your just now making a funny face! I really won't forgive you!"
The two segments at the end of the show deal with Yamasaki describing how he was kicked out of his house one morning by his wife (and applolgized by telephone) and Hamada asking Tanaka and Yamasaki about their parents hitting them. It turns out that Hamada was hit by his father at 3 years old!

    1. Thanks for your kind post Yakarin. I'm just responding now, because Blogger only just added this response mechanism.
      I'm sure there's much more interesting info to be drawn from this episode, but at present I can only devote one night a week to analyzing any episode. I just try an collect what little info I can.

    1. They didn't talk about that. They talked about them hitting their kids. Hamada is always saying that if it's boys it's ok. So assumed Yamazaki wouldn't hit his girls but he said he would spank them. Tanaka said if something was really bad he would hit. I'm pretty sure that Hamada said that he hit his kid at age 3. And that once he came back home to his wife telling him to talk to one of their sons in junior high school or high school. But when Hamada entered he realized that his son was bigger than him so he told him to seat in seiza so he could watch him from above.
      That's what I understood! (And yes this post is old!)
